Chapter 324: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger
In the garden of the Notakayama Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, Togo Kiku, who was five months pregnant, snuggled up to Masarashi with a gradually bulging belly......
"Husband, why didn't you include Sister Matsumiko in the room?" Ju Ji said with disgust.
"Ahem" Masahiro looked embarrassed. After drinking and forcing Yui Hatano that night, Masara simply didn't do anything and put the butterfly and the crane in the room. Only Matsumiko was left untouched. Now Kikuhime is both angry at Masayo's reckless behavior that night, and also unhappy for Matsumiko.
"Husband, you didn't cherish Yui's sister too much that night, and she could lie in bed for days before she could get up?" Since becoming a wife, Ju Ji has completely stopped avoiding these topics between husband and wife. And now it has the meaning of chasing and beating Zhengliang.
"Uh... Hmm..."Masahiro coped with it. That night was indeed a little braver, so that Yui Hatano, who was new to personnel, couldn't get up for two days.
"Hey, hey, hey" Seeing Masaara's embarrassed appearance, Ju Ji looked like she had succeeded in her treacherous plan and laughed secretly.
After being fooled by the political conscience, he did not hesitate to give his beloved wife a fragrant kiss.
"Husband, do you like boys or girls?" Kikuhime, who had recovered from Masaara's sneak attack, continued.
Not again! Zheng Zheng couldn't help but shout in his conscience. Since she became pregnant, every time the two were alone, Ju Ji would ask this question, and her ears would grow calluses when she heard it.
"Boys and girls like it," Masato once again gave the standard answer.
"But... Hmm" Before Kikuhime finished speaking, Masarashi used his ultimate weapon and blocked Kikuhime's small mouth with his mouth.
"Hmm" The hot kiss that lasted for several minutes made Ju Ji completely soft and confused.
"We haven't had that in a long time, have we?" Masara took the opportunity to say in Kikuhime's ear.
"Huh?" Ju Ji seemed to suddenly remember something extremely embarrassing, and exclaimed in surprise, and her whole face turned red.
"Let's go back to the bedroom," Masaro said, and prepared to pick up Kikuhime.
"Huh? Ah, no... Tian Miko, why are you here" Ju Ji wanted to refuse and welcome. Said suddenly.
Masarashi looked up in the direction where Kikuhime was looking, and saw a little girl staring at them with big eyes not far from the two.
This little girl is none other than Miko Tada. A year has passed, and the little girl is already seven years old, and she is getting more and more beautiful to have a child. Although he is a year older, the little guy still likes to stick to Masahiro as before.
"Airplanes. Airplane," Tian Miko shouted as she stared at Masara with wide eyes. At the same time, the little hand raised something.
When Masahiro looked at it, it was a "paper airplane" folded with bamboo paper.
"Tian Miko, come here, let's put the plane together" saw Tian Miko. As if she had seen a savior, Ju Ji hurriedly beckoned to Tian Meizi and said.
Zhengliang glanced at the big and small Lori quite helplessly, and then stared at Ju Ji meaningfully, hum, even if he escaped this time. It can be compensated for in the evening. After Kikuhime saw Masa-ra's eyes, her newly recovered face turned red again, obviously she understood the meaning of Masa-ra's eyes.
"Come on, I'll teach you how to release the plane" Masara walked up to Tian Miko in two steps, picked Tian Miko up and said. Speaking of which, this is really lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot. This method of folding "paper airplanes" is exactly what Masarashi taught Miko Tada.
And this paper is the paper made by Zhengliang's papermaking method. Of course, after those Ming craftsmen came, they added some of the techniques they knew about the Dao. Since the main raw material is bamboo. That's why Masahiro calls it "bamboo paper".
The method of making paper is as follows. Cut the tender bamboo into five to seven feet sections, choose a pond to open a pond, and irrigate it with water to soak it. In order to prevent the pond from drying up, bamboo conduits are used to divert water into the pond. Soak it for 100 days, take out the bamboo and beat it with a stick. After the most coarse shell and green skin are washed off (this step is called "finishing"). At this time, the bamboo is like ramie, and then mixed with lime into an emulsion, and then put in a bucket to cook for eight days and eight nights.
After cooking, stop heating for a day. Uncover the bucket and remove the bamboo linen. Put it in a pond of clear water and rinse it well. The bottom and all sides of the pond should be made of wooden planks to prevent mud contamination (this is not necessary when making coarse paper). After the bamboo and hemp are washed, soak them in firewood ash water, and then put them in the pot and press them flat, and spread about an inch thick of straw ash. After boiling, the bamboo flax is transferred to another bucket and further washed with plant ash water. After the ash water has cooled, it should be boiled and then rinsed. In this way, after more than ten days, the bamboo hemp will naturally rot and stink. Take it out and put it in the mortar to make a mud (there are water mills in the mountains), and pour it into the paper making trough.
The paper groove is like a square bucket, and the size is determined by the paper curtain, which in turn is determined by the size of the paper. Place clean water in the paper trough and the water surface is about three inches above the bamboo pulp, and add paper liquid juice (this paper liquid is made from a plant leaf that looks like a peach bamboo leaf), so that the paper will be very white after drying. The paper curtain is made of extremely fine scraped bamboo wire, which is supported by a wooden frame underneath when unfolded. With both hands, hold the paper curtain and put it into the water, swing the bamboo pulp to let it enter the paper curtain. The thickness of the paper can be controlled and mastered by human hands: it is thin if it is light, and thick when it is heavy. When the paper curtain is lifted, water will be poured back into the paper making groove from the curtain eye; Then flip the curtain over and let the paper fall onto the board, stacking thousands of sheets. When the number is sufficient, a wooden board is pressed, a rope is tied and inserted into a stick, it is twisted, the water is pressed dry in a manner similar to that of wine, and then the paper is lifted one by one with small copper tweezers and dried. When baking paper, first build two walls with adobe bricks to form a sandwich lane, and use bricks to cover the fire path at the bottom, and leave a vacant space for every few bricks of the bricks in the lane. The fire burns from the furnace at the head of the alley, and the hot gas penetrates through the empty brick joints and fills the entire alley, and when the bricks on the outer wall of the alley are hot, the wet paper is put on and dried one by one, and then removed and put into a stack. In this way, the bamboo paper is made.
At present, the paper in the territory is completely self-sufficient, and Zhengliang even took these papers to sell in a house opened by several of Zhengliang's wives and concubines in partnership with Tai Jiuling. The progress of teaching at various Roche institutions has also been accelerated by the free provision of paper. As a result, the promotion of Mandarin and simplified Chinese characters has been greatly accelerated.
Just when the mansion of the lord of the Luo family was warm and joyful, in the city of Shifukuji Temple, an important evaluation was being held at this moment.
"Is the information true?" Shao Yi Dongshang, who is in his twenties, asked.
"The information is true. A few days ago, the Luo family, in the name of avenging their father-in-law Matsuura Xingxin, suddenly launched a long-planned strategy, and within a few days, Imari, Kamimatsuura, Shisa, and Goto were wiped out, and even the Omura family was driven out of the west bank of Omura Bay. Counting the territory of the Wave family in Matsuura County, which was forced to retreat to Iki Island, the Luo family now controls the entire Matsuura County and part of the territories of Biki County and Kishima County. According to rumors, in the conflict between the head of the Luo family and the Omura family, a single person rushed into the large array of the Omura family, and killed Junzuna Watanabe and Junfang Miyahara among the seven warriors of the Omura family alone, cut off the arm of Junhisa Fujisaki, and seriously injured Junchen Omura.
"When did this family come to be, and why did it rise recently?" Shao Yi Dongshang asked suspiciously.
Everyone in the council hall shook their heads. Obviously, they didn't know anything about the situation of the Luo family.
"Your Highness, no matter what the situation of this Luo family is, according to the current situation, it has already threatened the family, and it must be suppressed or even exterminated," Baba Yorishu asserted.
"How? How to exterminate? Shao Yi Dongshang asked.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a plan to gobble up the tiger," Baba Lai Zhou immediately said.
"Huh?"
"Your Highness, you can force the Longzao Temple family to go to rehabilitate the Luo family, and then the two families will definitely fight each other, and the family can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"Humph!" As soon as he heard Machang Lai Zhou mention the Longzao Temple family, Shao Yi Dongshang immediately snorted coldly. With the continuous increase in strength, this Longzao Temple family is indeed less and less in his eyes, and he already has a strong fear of the Longzao Temple family.
"However, the Longzao Temple family may not be willing to listen to orders," said Hengyue Zicheng on the side.
"Yes, the Longzoji family is not strong enough to dare to face us and others alone."
"What about the Luo family? You can't just attack it, right? ”
"Hehe, let people let the head of his family come to see His Highness with the righteousness of the lord of the country, if the other party is willing to come, just find an excuse to put him under house arrest as a hostage, if he doesn't obey, the righteousness will naturally stand on the side of his family."
"Okay, let's count it according to this," Shao Yi Dongshang decided after the most discouragement......
